ls-F never groks flags, it'll always fall back on ls(1) whenever flags
are given. Given this, here's an excerpt from man csh:
color If set, it enables color display for the builtin
ls-F and it passes --color=auto to ls. Alterna-
tively, it can be set to only ls-F or only ls to
enable color only to one command. Setting it to
nothing is equivalent to setting it to (ls-F ls).
So when you ``set color'' and ``ls-F -l'', our ls(1) gets
``ls -CF --color=auto -l'' and is naturally confused. The solution
is to use ``set color=ls-F''.
If that is not a disgusting Linuxism, I don't know what is.
